Newspaper has just reached me with a report of Lord Howick's speech at Alnwick, on Wednesday. As feelings are there imputed to me which I should be ashamed of entertaining, and conduct has been erroneously ascribed to me by his Lordship which must have been misrepresented to him, but which, if consistent with the fact, would derogate from my public character, I think myself called upon to lay before you a statement and explanation, which I am sure will be satisfactory to every candid mind, and must carry conviction even to soy enemies. It it my intention to invert the order of his Lordship's remarks, and to aliswer them point by point. Lord Ilowick has been misinformed of the manner in which I canvassed, or he would nothave accused me of preferring either of the other two candidates to himself. It is well known to those gentle men to whom I have unreservedly declared my views, that at the time of the late contest, and during the greater part of my canvass, I hoped that the two anti-ministerial candidates might succeed, and that, es far as circumstances would allow me, I endeavoured 'to effect 'this object. It was only lately that I have entirely aban doned this purpose, and I must add, that I was in some measure induced to give it up by hearing, upon authority which I could not &allot, that Lord Howick frequently expreseld himself con verning me, in a way that my conduct towards his Lordship was far from deserving. There cannot be one freeholder in the coun ty whom I requested not to vote for Lord flowick, and there are sunny who asked me, if! considered his Lordship as my oppouenti", to whom I answered, " I believe he looks upon sue in that light, but I do not consider him so." I will tell Lord Howick and yourselves why I applied for the Chiltern Hundreds, and can assure him and you, that private animosity- had no part whatever in the sudden change of my in tention, when I determined to maintain my seat against all oppo sition. Does his Lordship suppose that I changed my intention, because I understood that he was prepared to offer himself for the County if I had retired? My friends know that it was imitate to me who succeeded me in the representation of the County, provided he were one who would vote with the Opposition. slut as that circumstance has been brought publicly forward, I shall enter into a short account of it. In the spring of 1823, I Iva. so disgusted with the conduct of some persons whom I bad considered my friends, and saw so little prospect of my ever find ing happiness in England, that I resolved to quit a country where painful recollections were constantly springing up. With this view I made . application for the Chiltern •Hundreds, when two friends called upon me, and after much entreaty, persuaded me to, relinquish this intention ; and one in particular pressed upon me, that time would not fail to heal any wound, however sorely it Might be felt at that time. I changed my determination. I have found his opinion as correct as his advice was friendly ; and the conduct of my Constituents during the last few, weeks has given me the greatest reason to be satisfied with the resolution which•l then took, to use his Lordship's words, "of maintainingauy seat against all opposition." I never accused Lord Howick of having :wen induced to come forward by any other motive than that of an honourable ambi tion, and his Lordship only can know whether he is more anxious to turn out myself or the Tory Member. That the greater part of any speech was an attack on many-of his Lordship's supporters, is quitelrue; and as I can prove by the returns of the canvassing hooktt, that wherever the influence of certain Whig Gentlemen is know n to be paramount, all the splits are upon Lord Howick and Mr. Bell, I must continue to call their conduct unprincipled and, 4 isgraceful. • Having neither included, nor intended to include his Lordship -in my reproaches against the Whigs, and having no reason to suppose that his Lordship was satisfied with their con duct towards himself, I must own that I have read the speech of his Lordsbip.with the greatest surprise. The absence of the lead- Gentlemen . of the Whig party from- the dinner that his poli-, tical friends lately gave to him, left an impression upon my mind that lie had not received from them that cordiality of support to Which he appeared entitled. • However, I leave this question be tween thins to he settled by his Lordship and themselves, and I am confident that they must feel much gratitude to him for the manly way in which he has stood forward in their defence. Before I conclude this address, I cannot refrain from expressing say astonishment that his Lordship should have listened for a too :11mA to the report of my being hostile to him, for be must be aware that it was my intention to have promoted his return at the last election by every means in my power, and that . I did not pro guise any assistance to Mr. Liddell until his Lordship bad declined a contest. If he were more-cautious in believing reports which are brought to him, he would undoubtedly fall into fewer errors ; but when I was of his age I had not seen enough of the world to know that there are men in it who, in gratification of private hatred, will stoop to any falsehood : and experience shows that the most honourable minds are the slowest to entertain such su.spi 6nna I have no feeling of anger on account of any thing which has fallen from him ; a n d I shall take my leave of you with offer ing to you my warmest thanks , for your great kindness towards 'us, - and repeating my assurance that, at the day of election, I s hall come forward totally unconnected with any other candidate; When I trust that the majority by which I shall be returned will secure your independence for ever. 1 have the honour lo be, Gentlemen, .

IMPORTATION OP CORN. Mr. Bnoonot, and others from the Commons, brought up the Warehoused and Importation Corn Bills, and the Ale-house Limn- sing Bill, which were read a first time. . I The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved that the two first Bill, be printed; and gave notice that. on Tuesday next he should move that they be read a second time. - The Earl of MALNIESBURY presented petitions from Gran tham, Sleaford, Barton, Fo'ken:them, and other places iu the county of Lincoln, against those Bills.—Laid on the table. The Marquis of BUTE presented petitions from Trowbridge and Neath, in the county of Glamorgan, in favour of the Debtors and Creditors' Arrangement Bill.—Laid on the table. Lord ELLENBOROUGII gave notice that he should move the Second Reading of the Bill on Monday. THE IRISH CHURCH. The Bishop of FERNS moved for certain Papers relative to the value of Benefices in Ireland, and for a Return of the number of Parishes in Ireland to which the provisions of the Tithe Corn position Act had been extended, distinguishing the parishes be longing to improprietors. His Lordship observed, that his object was to shew that the amount of Church Property in Ireland bad been greatly over-rated. From an account which he had mt.de of the value of benefices in three diocese*, it appeared that the average amount of each benefice in those dioceses was 2b81., and when the Returns were laid before their Lortlshipu, he had no doubt but it would appear that the income of the Parochial Clergy in Ireland was much smaller than had been suproeed. Lord CLIFDEN thought it woulti.be desirable to ascertain the number of Protestants in each parish, that Perliament might know the number of the flock, as well es the income of the Rectors. The Returns were then ordered. GLASGOW UNIVERSITY., Their Lordships resolved into a. Committee upon the Irish Prisons Bill. The Duke of MONTROSE proposed an Amendment, which would entitle Members of the University of Glasgow to practise in Prisons in Ireland. The Earl of LIVERPOOL 'objected to the clause, as it would make a special exemption in favour of the, University of . Glad gow, whilst these of .Oxford, ' Cambridge, Dublin, and Edin burgh, enjoyed no such advantage. As the Bill stood, that pri vilege was allowed only to the Royal College of Surgeons an d, Physicians •of London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, and it would not be liberal to extend it to one University without, allowing it. to all. The clause was than negatived ; , the Bill passed through the Committee, end was reported. • METROPOLITAN TUBNPItt TRUST. Their Lordships resolved into a Onninittee upon this .Bill, whit : Lord REDESDALE moved an amendment, to exclude the Harrow Turnpike Trust, and the Ilabriaile , frtnn l 6 OPeration of the Bill, whinh was opposed by thy Earl of Lauderdale. Their Lordships divided, when there appeared—.

Mr. HUMS riot iheWiule of tie property in reeittirGiii• leri9rated under the present system.. If that Country were put on the same footing in fkotlatid, there would be a relief to the intioutit of two or three millions of taxes. This was not merely a question of religion ; and he put it to the Chancellor of the Ex- Chequer whether it -was not at this period, when the revenue was known to be deficient, worth his while to adopt any available means for its increase ? That this might be effected, by attend ing to the prayer of the Petitioners, he had pa hesitation in saying.—The Petition was ordered to be printed. ADJOURNMENT. Mr. Secretary CANNING then mound, that the House adjourn at its rising to, Priday next. Mr. HUME said, he wished to bring before' the House the subject of regulations now existing respecting promotions in the Army, and he feared, by the adjournment proposed, be should be deprived of an opportunity. Mr. Secretary CANNING said the Hou'se would meet en Friday, 'when the Hon. Member would be able to bring forward the busineri he proposed. Mr. HUME said he had been before disappointed on such oc casions, byi certain knock at the door of the House.—(A laugh.) —He wished the Right Hon. Gentleman would guarantee him a hearing. Mr. Secretary CANNING said he could guarantee the Hon. Member a House, hut he certainly could not guarantee him a hearing.—(Much laughter.) ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. Mr. HUSKISSON said be bad to present to the Howie two Petitions front two bodies of his constituents in Liverpool, The Petitioners approved of the course which bad boen adopted by his Majesty's Ministers, and were not anxious for the preservation of the system of slavery ; but they prayed the House not by en . necessary diacussion to keep the question in such agitation, and the 'slave in such a state of excitement, as might have the effect of precluding Ministers from carrying the measures they contem plated into effect.' They stated that their property in the Indies had been much deteriorated by 'continued agitation of the ques tion.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME said that early in March be moved fur a return of the number of persons who are now confined, having been com mitted for contempt of the Court of Chancery. As it had not yet been furnished, he should move that the return be made forth. with. He bad moved also for a return of the eipences incurred i n th e r epairs o f Windsor Castle, and Buckingham House, which had also not been furnished ; and be therefore made a similar mo tion in relation to this.—Ordered forthwith. THE KING'S BENCH PRISON. Mr. lIUME raid, he last night presented a Petition from an individual named David Latouche, , complaining that the Marshal bad charged him 2071., for the rules of the King's Bench Pri son, and subsequently confined h►m within the walls. The Pe tition contained ()tiler allegations which he (Mr. Hume) did not think it necessary to notice. He had since made himself Re quainted with the circumstances of Mr. Jones conduct. On reference to the rules and regulations, he found that Mr. Jones was authorised in waking this charge ; that he was entitled to M. for every after hundred, Ile (Mr. Hume) now objected to the law, which enabled the Marshal to make these exactions. On instituting an inquiry, he found that Mr. Jones, would give Mr. Latouche the rules again, if he gave security for his debt, and to keep the peace. Ile should move, under the circum stances, that the petition ho brought up. Mr. DAWSON said, the Marshal was remarkable for.his hu manity mud excellent conduct. He might have charged SW. if he pleased for the Hutt% he had given. • The conduct of the Pe titioner had been most outrageous ; he fired pistols at the patrol, and was guilty of other excesses. Mr. HUME freely confessed, after v hat he had learnt of the character of the petitioner, he was not warranted in saying any thing particularly in his favour.—The Petition was then laid on the table. Mr, HUME presented a Petition from a weaver in Glasgow, complaining that he did not get more than from five to six shil lings the week as wages.. The Petitioner prayed the House to fix a minimum of wages, as Parliament had fixed o minimum of the price of corn.—Ordered to be printed. Mr, HUME gave notice, that Lord. Charles Somerset not hay ing yet come home, he should present a Petition from Colonel Bradley on Friday next. • - • Lord JOHN RUSSELL postponed his motion relating to Bri. bery and Corruption at Elections, to next Friday. His Lord- ship also presented a Petition from Trait*, its the county of Kerry, praying the House to inquire into the bribery and corruption practised at that place.—Laid on the table. SLAVERY. Mr. C. R. ails preftnted 4 Petition from the Planter* and Owners of Estates in the British West India Colonials, against any alteration of their property, without allowing au adequ a te emu pensation.—Ordered to be printed. A great number of petitions were presented praying for the Abolition of Slavery. BANKRUPTCY. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR paid, that if he had the honour of a seat in that House during the next Parliament, he intended, at the earliest period, to bring forward a motion for the total re moval of all bankruptcy cases from the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. LORD CHARLES SOMERSET. Lord E. SOMERSET wished to know whether it was the in tention of the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. B. Beaumont), who had introduced the case respecting the Cape of Good Hope Ad ministration, or of the Hon. the Secretary for the ()dollies (Mr. W. Horton) to lay before the House all the papers relative to the transactions in which the conduct of his noble relative (Lord C. Somerset) was implicated? Hit noble relative had arrived in this country since the question had been last agitated in that House, and felt the greatest anxiety that every facility for the im mediate investigation of all charges preferred against him during his Administration at the Cape of Good Hope might be afforded ; as he was convinced that the more speedy the inquiry, the sooner would the integrity and propriety of his proceedings be . established. Mr. WILMOT HORTON stated that he was desirous that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. H. Beaumont) should bring forward whatever measures he proposed to inst►tute on the subject, as, if that Hon. Member declined, he (Mr. W. Horton) intended to propose some course that might settle any difference of opinion on the question. He had last night received a communication from that Hon. Gentleman, from which he concluded that it was not his intention to suggest any thing further on the matter At present. Mr. BEAUMONT did not see any benefit which could be de rived from bringing forward the documents before the lieu** at this late period of the Session, when nothing could be dune, in reference to them. Should he, however, be in possession of a seat in that House during the ensuing Parliament, he pledged himself tb press forward the matter at the earliest time and op portunity. EAST INDIA SUOAR. Mr, W. WHITMORE begged leave to refer to the notice of a motion Which he had given on a former night, and which stood for Tuesday nest, relative to the duties on East India and Foreign Plantation Sugar. As the resolutions which he meant to propose could not be brought forward on the night appointed, in conse quence of the intimation given last night, he determined to wait until the next Parliament. The Orders of the Day were then proceeded with. On the Order that the Report on the Sessional Addresses be received, _ _ Mr. H. GURNEY said that he could not allow the Sessional Addresses to pass withont adverting to a paper which had been circulated very extensively -, among the Members, respecting the remuneration for the services of the High Constable of Westmin- titer, whose time Was devoted during their sittings to the perform ance of Services highly Useful, but for 'which the individual who meritoriously held the office of High Otinstable received no re quital. An objection had , been made toile introduction of an item of this kind ou n former occasion by an lion. Member, on a misunderstanding that the office o f H i g h Constable had been pur chased and was locratiVe, lie hoped that the clause to the effect of cotopeosation would be introduced. After a few words from M. A. TAYLOA, the Report was brought up. The Parochial Clergy Itealdence Bill was then read a third tune end' !lased, and the remaining Orders of the Day were dia- PPIO4 of TITE,_ °REEK'S. 84 . 11. f i. iNG/18, rose to present a Petition from the Parish of White Roothing, is Else; on behalf of the ("reeks. it was ouintroutly• and he believed, respeet 4 lf net, however, on *mount of the numb e r ; or theiv oix ,,tibila y , o f the parties, whose names were subscribed to this Petitio n that he was induced to call the attention 'of the Ifoneirtoit Airily on eceoutit of the tact. that with /one solitary ear and that four years ago, it wasthe singheexpression , of Mg on behalf of the Greeks which are yet had reached the .110‘1 1 ,, , since the commencement of the greet 'struggle hi - whielethey been engaged.

Mr. W. SAIITH hoped that there would lie some indientioo given in that House, and from the opposite aide, that the people of England were not in a state of disiuelination or apathy toward,* the condition of their felloweehristians„ the Greeks. Sir IL WILSON trusted that something weuld be done to • save Christian people from that externiinution which tenet:eel - them. Though the violence of their foes was of a most inveterate description, nettling could intimidate them, or prevent the exer tion of that brave spirit by which they were au nobly distinguith ed. It we. to be feared, hoWever, that their struggles would not be ao successful as they deserved, under the circumstances; io which they were placed. They preferred to destrey themselves and children, as in a late disastrous instance was manifest, rather than surrender. Suck heroic conduct was highly meritorious, and should excite commiseration. The attack on Algiers was made on the vet), principle which should operate on the. preeent occasion. Why should a foreign power be allowed to domineer en any country in Europe, under French auspices? French athe errs were freely permitted to devote their wervieve to the oPPQ- • nenta of Grewce, while those of England ,who might be de thou.% to assist the latter, were precludes] front exerting then - we've* in a cause which was truly of a sacred character. He did not wean. tea assert that the Crown should not pommel the 'sower of prevent., ifig any of its subjects from enlisting in foreign serviette, but lie hoped that next Parliament the law on the matter would be alter ed so as to distinguish the foreign services, for some of which the exclusion might be excepted. Mr. lIOI.3HOUSE "maid that he would, long before the prey. sent time, have taken up the subject if hodid siot•coeceive that the Government had some measure in contemplation, which might be embarrassed by any anticipation in questions pro posed in that House. He confided in the iutcntions' of the Government, whew conduct he thought would justify diet opinion of their liberality. In reference to the great blow which had been struck against the rising liberties of Greed by the fall of Missoloughi, he did not look on it in the tame light of terror as his Honourable Friend. Every hope was to be indulged, that the Very siege of. that Place would tend to invigorate the.spirit which had been kindled in Greece. Be Le lieved, and the opinion was confirmed by men of judgment and abilities, that if the Greeks evinced a degree of energy and va lour similar to that at Missolonghi, in the defence of the seat of Goverment, that they would be able effectually to Ustlistand any opposition which the l furks could bring against tlion. If be had brought forward. the subject, which dependence on the motives or intentions of Government bad prevented, be could have proved that France bud acted with duplicity and perfidy, while this country 'had adhered to a system of integritT and ho nour. lie had spoken with a Gentleman lately „arrived,. fi out Alexandria, and by him it was stated, that the exertions of the French were notorious in favour of the Torke. He find pogo a list of French ships in the service of the hula, of Egypt, and he had elm . been assured, that a French ship had been employed by him in the conveyance of specie. He had also understood, that it was the intention of some part of the French Ministry to , assist the Turks in the most unequivocal mariner. ,What the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Capping) would do when ouch circumstances as were apprehended should, be developed, it was nut fur him to express his conjectures concerning. The annul which was made at Missolonghi, however, instead of dis heartening, would, he thought, inspire the Greek nation with in creased energy, and would awaken and stimulate the quip:4y of the British public. • The petition was then ordered to be printed.

He could, not consent to an uniletereljnetiers, Mr. DENMAN thought that even if the Right lion...;Citulle, man did not object to the motion, it was one which the Hutt* of Commons ought not to entertain. It was obvious with.w6t teution and for what purpose this information, was sought, and, would be used ; but even if it could bet proved • that the condition, of the Protestants 'in Rounds Catholic :countries .were. as. bad eit ► bigotry could make it, it could be no- argument for it nation eik ek lightened as this was, which had outgrown AU t he prejuttiets of, „ other countries, to continue a degrading.eppreeeiotr upqn410414 1 70,,, Catholics, because Protestants were elsewhere oppressed.
